American Family Radio (AFR) is a network of more than 180 radio stations broadcasting Christian-oriented programming to over 30 states.[1][2] AFR streams its programming on its website and on the AFR mobile app.

AFR was launched by Rev. Donald Wildmon in 1991 as a ministry of the American Family Association, with the flagship station being WAFR in Tupelo, Mississippi.[6][7] It originally aired a contemporary Christian music format.[8] Christian talk and teaching programs were also featured.[9] Eventually, American Family Radio included three networks – Classic Gospel; a Christian AC network; and Inspirational, which included Christian talk and teaching programs.[7][10][11] In 2009, American Family Radio launched AFR Talk, and most of its stations joined the new network.[12] The Christian AC network was discontinued at this time.[12] At its peak, American Family Radio was heard on over 200 stations.[13]
